My surprise 50th Birthday Party

I can't believe they actually pulled this one off on me!! The way this all worked out was perfect for Kev....for once doing things last minute actually payed off for him. I just thought we were going to dinner...which we were, but as we got close to the place...they made me close my eyes and they led me into this place. I didn't like closing my eyes, and I remember walking in and it smelling musty! And I heard voices....so I thought oh, maybe he got some of our friends together for dinner...cool. But when I opened my eyes and saw how many people were in the room...I about died!! I WAS definately surprised! About 50 people or so...WOW!


Kevin and Jaycee had put a slide show together, which was very cool, and Jaycee added music for Kev....so I sat down and watched the slide show for a while...till I saw a picture of Kathy...which made me tear up a little....wo then I got up and started visiting. Rick and Karen made me a homemade LEI....it smelled so pretty, and I had a crown to wear. I still couldn't believe all the people who came to honor ME...wow!! I am in the process of making a birthday book and I will include all the people...since this blog would be sooo long otherwise!


We had a delicious dinner catered by Three Chicks Catering...we had chicken cordon blue with YUMMY grilled veggies, salad, rolls....I just remember it tasting sooooo yummy! After dinner, Kevin had hired a magician to come...and he was hillarious!! He had Journey come up...she had scooted towards the back as not to be picked......but it didn't work...he was doing this trick about slicing her finger off, and she is sooo gullable.

He was entertaining!
He got me up there too...he was good!

Then afterwards we had cake...Trina made a darling banner for my cake, and one to hang on my wall!

After the desert, Kevin had gotten some letters from some who couldn't make it...Kaylee, Shyn, my friend Shay.....so he started reading those...then people started getting up and saying such sweet things about me...when it started turning into a testimonial...I decided it was getting WAY to serious. So I had everyone gather their chairs into a circle and we played of course....SOME GAMES! Fruit basket....fun, fun group games! I thought this party can't end without games right?! Everyone participated and we had a BALL!!
Just shortly after the magician had started...Darin walked in with these roses for me....what a surprise...this night was full of them! I was sooo happy to see him and have him at the party!!!
He'd come from work, so glad he could make it! Everyone got to see what a fun personality Darin has, and how much fun he can really be. When he was playing games with us, he was cracking us up....nice to see him having a good time!

This will certainly not be a birthday I will soon forget, I was so thankful for all the sweet friends who cared enough about me to come and be with us....what a GREAT party!! Thanks hon!
